James Otton, cardiologist and clinical faculty member at the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute, is using 3D printers to create replicas of hearts. Surgeons at the Liverpool and St Vincent’s hospitals in Sydney will be able to gain a more detailed understanding of the problems suffered by individual patients, with the help of the models printed from CT scans. St Vincent’s cardiothoracic and transplant surgeon Kumud Dhital also believes that "bioprinting" will be available in the future to grow actual hearts for transplantation
